STORY
On a beautiful summer day, a grasshopper hopped around lazily in the grass. He was happy and well-fed. He was singing to himself because life was good. While the Grasshopper was enjoying the day, an ant carried grains and took them to the nest with great toil. On seeing the hardworking ant passing by, the Grasshopper invited him to join. All day long in the summer, the ant would work hard, collecting food while the Grasshopper enjoyed the bright summer days.
The Grasshopper would look at the ant and laugh. ‘Why do you work so hard, dear ant?’ he would say. ‘Come, rest for a while, and listen to my song. Why waste the sunshine in labor and toil?’ The ant said, “I am helping to lay up food for the winter and I recommend you do the same.”
“Why to bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “We have got plenty of food at present, and there is still plenty of time to prepare for winter.” But the ant knew what he was doing and continued to work without stopping or resting. On the other hand, the Grasshopper preferred to dance, sing and play. But unfortunately, he did not realize that the beautiful summer days would not last forever.
Summer faded into autumn, and autumn turned into winter. When the cold winter came, the Grasshopper realized that the ant was right and should have been prepared. The Grasshopper didn’t feel like singing anymore. He should not have wasted all his time when food was plentiful. He was now hungry. He found himself dying of hunger – while it saw the ant enjoying the food stored which was collected in the summer.
The Moral of the Story is: Work hard today and you can reap the benefits tomorrow.
PRAYER
Let us join our hands and bow our heads in prayer.
O Good and Gracious God, I praise and thank you for the opportunity to acquire knowledge in a good school. Lord, pour forth your brilliance upon us and help us to apply whatever we learn here in reality. Keep us organized, help us to avoid distractions, and pay more attention to our teachers. Give us the grace to work hard and encourage us to move forward despite the hardships we face. Help us to use our time and our intelligence wisely, as we prepare for our examinations. Bless our hands, our feet, our sight, and our voice so that we can use them for your glory. This prayer we make in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Let us continue by saying, The Lord’s Prayer together.
